Flacco had a big game last week. All we heard about on the sports shows this week was how he's now "elite" and is going to get the huge, huge payday.
So this week he's not even showing up (literally - considering the Patriots have had the ball all game so far)

Sounds like typical Flaccid. Having a huge game that causes the elite talks to surface once again, and then he follows it up with a poor performance in the very next game.
